The approach in practice
- Step 1
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 2
Address the driver
Using clinical hypnotherapy and, where useful, nervous-system regulation, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
